November 21, 20241 yr At 21:00 Z (16:00 EST) Steam shows only 9,670 users logged into MSFS 2024. The 24-hour peak was less than 12,000. And, the highest number of MSFS 2024 users on Steam since Wednesday 00:00Z has been a little over 13,500. Where is all the demand coming from that is overloading the servers? MSFS 2024 is not even in the top 100 busiest games on Steam at this time. Even Farm Simulator and Shopping Simulator are more heavily used than MSFS 2024 on Steam. OR - Am I misunderstanding the Steam statistics?

November 21, 20241 yr You might not be. I'm running the game right now and it's a smooth as butter! I wouldn't take away anything from a stat like that!

There are currently 10 Steam titles with more than 100,000 users active so it seems that some game developers can deliver quality to high user counts.

THAT would be the comparison to make, to see how 2024 is coming along, or how far it needs to go... Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

Currently (20:00 Z) about 5,500 - the highest max logons in the last year is about 14,000 and the typical day for 2020 is around 6,000.

Well in that case I'm not as concerned about this whole situation. I mean I'm not excusing their lack of preparedness, I'm just pointing out the following: So 2024's current usage (9,670 logins/day) will calm down over the next few weeks and it should be more in line with what we usually see for 2020 (i.e. 6,000 logins/day)...that's my guess, anyway.
